Pond Management for Fish Production in California Creek SWCD

As spring arrives, proper pond management enables many in the California Creek Soil and Water Conservation District to have a personal fishing hole. New ponds under one surface acre can sustain a family’s needs, while old ponds can be managed for yield. Stock bass bluegill and channel catfish. avoid crappie and bullheads. Use fertilization to boost yields from 25–200 pounds per year unfertilized to 200–600 pounds with fertilization. Initiate fertility in spring when water is 55 degrees, applying 8-8-2 fertilizer in 100 pound doses every 7–10 days until a white disk 18 inches below the surface is no longer visible. The Soil Conservation Service can assist with stocking rates and management.
